Snowflake Push Pop and Cake Pop Stands

The mystery is over! I finally got the snowflake stand done and just listed it on Etsy.Deb, a bride to be, approached me with a general idea of what she wanted for her winter wedding. She wanted something either round, star, or snowflake shaped. This is what I came up with and it incorporates them all! I did a ton of searching for something similar, and found there is nothing out there even close. This stand was quite a design and building challenge, but that's what I love about doing what I do.The stand has 3 tiers that are 24, 20, and 10" from point to point in a true 6 sided snowflake pattern. The 24 inch tier holds 54 push pops, the 20 inch holds 42, and the 10 inch holds 12. The top tier can be made like the piece in the last picture also. The top tier can hold up to a 7" round cake without covering up the points. It can also be done without the holes. The bottom spacer is 3 1/2" tall so the sticks hang through without touching the base. The spacers between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tiers are 8" tall so the pops can be loaded and unloaded. The total height of the stand is about 22 1/2" tall, and it is finished with a gloss white paint. Even though this particular stand was made for push pops, it can be made to be used for cake pops as well. You can see it in my Etsy shop here https://www.etsy.com/shop/MikesAmazingStands
